Holidays: do you relax or get active?

What does a holiday, a vacation, mean to you?

Do you spend it climbing mountains, seeking an adrenalin rush, relaxing with a good book, exploring new places, visit the same place each year, doing jobs around the house, visiting friends or relatives?

Even when retired we all need a holiday - how do you spend yours?

I can't recall any Talks about having time out, if you know of any then please share them here?

Closing Statement from Kate Blake

Only a few dear TEDdies joined in but what a vast variety of 'ideas' we had about what "holidays" meant for us!

Well worth a read to get some hints and humour ... Much thanks everyone.

    Feb 22 2013: Yeah, per below, maybe it was a little unfair to call that work because it isn't what most people think of as work. But asking intelligent questions, besides requiring effort in and of itself, often leads to knowlege that one can apply to the kind of work most people think of as "work." So I give large respect to good questions. I would even say listening to a tour guide without asking questions is work if one is listening carefully and well, for the same reasons. Between listening and asking questions in Kenya I learned things about food that I was able to bring home and apply to what is more obviously work.
